Brethren;

Here is hoping that everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday this past weekend. Hopefully everyone was able to spend some time with family and friends and reflect on everything that we should be "Thankful" for in our lives. I think in this day and age we sometimes forget about how fortunate we really are to be living in this country of ours. Turn on the 6PM news and you will know exactly what I mean!
I am hoping to see everyone out for lots of support on the night of Thursday, October 20th, for our first "official" meeting with this year’s new officers. This night is also the official visit of the DDGM. See you then everyone!

Fraternally,

W. Bro. Scott Savage
